Oh ok. I'm not watching because I don't give a shit about any sport but hockey. And I especially don't give a shit about commercials.I don't even know who's playing today, but I know Jim Harbaugh is involved, and I had a crush on him when I was 10.

I only watch HS and college football, so no go for me unless it's my beloved Saints.

I'm watching West Wing's debate episode (btw Jimmy Smits & Alan Alda as the Dem & Repub candidates respectively). I *seriously* wish this episode was how real debates went! They both did a fantastic job on that episode - it was filmed live and there are some slip-ups, which makes it seem even more real.

Watching way south of the border where soccer is revered. Folks from England have already shat on a viewing. Major bar will have 4 screens. Yet another bar is showing and has food specials. I'm attending another party first. We'll see who heads down to the game with me when that is finished. Should be about second quarter at the latest. I will report back........

No surprise that there aren't a lot of football fans among the CDAN regulars. However, here's a betting tip for you tyros stuck at Super Bowl parties who want to pick up some easy money: if Kaepernick drives the Niners for four first downs through the air on their first possession, offer to take the Niners plus 7. If he gets the Niners into the red zone on the first possession, take the Niners plus 10. Basically, if there's any sign that Kaepernick can pass on the Ravens, Niners will win by ten or more points. Current line is 3-4 points Niners.

Oh, and obviously, if you can find anyone willing to bet the Ravens even (i.e., no points), take their money!

Love football, but since the teams I normally follow ended up 31st and 32nd in the standings this year, I don't have a lot of interest. I'll be rooting for the Niners, though, because my cousin's wife's sister's kid plays for them, and because I can't stand Ray Lewis.

I've seen the Budweiser commercial with the Clydesdale colt, though, and cried every time I watched it.

@ MadLyb - Me too re Homeland. I bitch about it, but I'm glued to the TV. When I was watching Season 1 on Netflix they had S2 available on streaming. When I was done with S1, S2 was no longer available on streaming so now I'm waiting for them to have S2 discs available. We have Dish network and they don't have On Demand. Argh!

(And don't get me started on Downton Abbey. I watched the season finale on Wednesday. I sort of knew what was coming but I want to punch writer Julian Fellowes in the throat anyway.)

Love this! I feel the same way. I'm def not a football or any kind of sports fan for that matter, but I really just watch for the commercials. Also being quiet about the 49ers, only cuz I'm from Cleveland, & a lot of my guy friends would be pissed if they knew. Haha.

It's live on Australian tv but unfortunately that is Monday 10am here so I will be at work. I would consider watching a replay just to find out what the fuss is about. Also, why is it on a Sunday?! I guess lots of people will be calling in sick tomorrow...

I am not watching simply because I don't care about football. I've had a few boyfriends try and get me involved in the sport but no matter how hard I try I like it, I just can't muster any enthusiasm whatsoever. Basketball, MMA, soccer ( go timbers! ) all can hold some interest but football? No thanks. Plus I have to work tonight so I can think of much better ways to spend my afternoon off!

I ended up making an espresso brownie bites recipe... the batter was yummy, but the brownies didn't set up right. Grrr.

@misspeg86, Sunday is a no work day for most people in the US (that is, most traditional/office/corp jobs). The general idea is that HS games are Friday nights (homecoming games are played on Friday so the dance is held on Saturday), college games on Saturdays (so the students can party Sat evening & have Sunday to recover from hangovers & ready for school on Monday), pro games played on Sundays prior to the big Monday night football games.

Husky games days were THE best. We had some major sailgating going on. One time we had all three of our boats hooked up side by side. My coworkers were all also my friends so we would drink or smoke and not get in trouble.

Going to a Super Bowl party to hang out with my friends and have some adult beverages! I could not care less about the game itself, though I have decided to root for the Ravens, because ravens are cool, mystical birds with supernatural portent. Also, I believe these are the Baltimore Ravens and one of my favorite TV series of all time is The Wire :P

I tried to post here , but blogger ate it. We will be watching after my husband gets home from work. Until then, I am watching my daughter play Arkham Asylum and I am making some finger foods. I also have steaks marinating in the fridge.

If I get some gumption in the next few minutes, those brownies mentioned up above sound like a great idea.

(My cousin and some buddies got sucked into a taste test for a new Annheiser-Busch brew a few years ago. They said it was terrible. Apparently Michelob has lost so much market share they're gonna take it off the market.)

@prolixeSeems like you already made your dessert, but for future reference and anyone else reading - my fast and easy "go to"...Take any kind of chocolate you have in the house (chips, bars) and melt in a large microwave safe bowl for two minutes. If you have or like peanut butter you can stir in a few scoops of that. Gently stir in some kind of savory cereal (chex, mini wheats, kix, or even mini pretzels.or mini crackers)Put in a plastic zip lock bag (or just cerfully in the bowl) toss and cover in powdered sugar. The powdered sugar will.dry and coat them into individual little bites!Always a hit.

I'm in Ireland. 2nd qtr has just started. It is 12.15 am . I have beer, nacho's and salsa so I'm all set. I love the Super Bowl, even if I don't really understand everything that's going on. (I am a soccer girl, although over here THAT is football).Hope you all are enjoying the game.

@V - I should've clarified that it was a cease & desist letter that they sent before they knew that SA PDX was an actual mayoral candidate. They settled with an "it's OK for the campaign" statement. I freelance for local rags and was assigned research on the story back then for one of them. Unbelievably boring, despite the headlines - wading through 18 pages of lawyer-speak just to pull the quote that basically said it's all good.

Article a couple of days ago where a bunch of people bent about the VW commercial, saying it makes Jamaicans (implied "black people") look like they're happy all the time - the Jamaican tourism board responded with... WE ARE, come find out! LOL

@prolixethe pretzel version is awesome. I started with just plain chocolate and chex long ago, but just keep experimenting with different ingredients all the time. Different kind of nut butter's are awesome as well.

I already know what's going (is happening now) to happen. Ravens are going to get cocky and blow the second half. Jim is going to do his magic in the locker room and different team will emerge. It's so classic with this 49er team.
